A vacant plot behind the market of Sector 3, near the DDA Park, has become a source of worry for the residents. Open consumption of liquor and drugs in the plot has been posing a threat to the safety and security of the area. And the situation is no different even during daylight hours.
Vijay Sharma, a resident, said, “This vacant land has made the surroundings unsafe. They buy liquor from the shop in the market and consume it on this vacant land. The police should look into the matter.”
The miscreants have also damaged the equipment in the park.
A DDA official said on condition of anonymity, “This land should be developed as a play area. The DDA has developed other such vacant land into a temporary play area.”
People said that police do patrolling in the area and keep vigil, yet open drinking persists. Some residents have asked the DDA to fence the area with a concrete wall.
MK Singh, a regular visitor to the park, said, “The broken wall near the market should be repaired by the DDA immediately. This will stop the hooligans from accessing the area from the market.”
When City Spidey contacted ACP Rajendra Singh, he said, “We’ll take up the issue and do whatever’s required.”
